The Sound Of Silence

[00:03.76] Hello darkness, my old friend

[00:07.62] I've come to talk with you again

[00:11.26] Because a vision softly creeping

[00:16.48] Left its seeds while I was sleeping

[00:21.26] And the vision that was planted in my brain

[00:27.86] Still remains

[00:30.74] Within the sound of silence

[00:37.24] In restless dreams, I walked alone

[00:41.90] Narrow streets of cobblestone

[00:46.19] 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp

[00:50.94] I turned my collar to the cold and damp

[00:55.20] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

[01:02.33] That split the night

[01:05.38] And touched the sound of silence

[01:11.41] And in the naked light, I saw

[01:16.16] Ten thousand people, maybe more

[01:20.35] People talking without speaking

[01:24.87] People hearing without listening

[01:29.33] People writing songs that voices never shared

[01:37.76] No one dared

[01:41.43] Disturb the sound of silence

[01:45.92] "Fools", said I, "You do not know

[01:50.55] Silence like a cancer grows

[01:55.10] Hear my words that I might teach you

[01:59.30] Take my arms that I might reach you"

[02:03.92] But my words like silent raindrops fell

[02:11.22] And echoed in the wells of silence

[02:18.44] ♪

[02:22.13] And the people bowed and prayed

[02:25.19] To the neon god they made

[02:29.28] And the sign flashed out its warning

[02:33.78] In the words that it was forming

[02:38.25] And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

[02:45.70] In tenement halls"

[02:49.38] ♪

[02:54.74] And whispered in the sounds of silence
